Bridges
Offering the spectator the chance to lay their eyes on a cinematic horizon as wide and diverse as possible has always been one of the main goals set by Magma - mostra di cinema breve. The interesting and successful experience of the partnerships established with the Film and TV School of the Academy of Performing Arts in Prague (FAMU), the Spanish Short Film Agency (ACE), the Istanbul Short Film Festival, El Ojo Cojo Madrid Festival and the Budapest Short Film Festival has enabled the audience of Magma to deal with works representative of the best of Czech, Spanish, Turkish and Hungarian short films. The importance of these experiences in itself has brought to the Magma staff’s attention the need to extend the collaboration to other international festivals. The programme of Magma 2008 will include a wider and richer section focused on the short films coming from the other partner festivals. The hospitality offered to the directors of the short films in competition, to the international partners and to the festival insiders represents a fundamental means to increase the intercultural exchange: meetings and round tables will encourage the comparison of different opinions concerning cinema and the development of new cultural and artistic projects.
